Well, you can make the first one more readable by
introducing some more functions into it, but how many functions are you ready
to search into when you use them? The latter snippet is better organized because
you know which object is handling which process. If you write big applications in
procedural style, it will be almost impossible to manage after a few versions. Of
course you can implement strict coding conventions, but it is agreed by millions
of developers that it won't give you the ultimate manageability and usability if it's
procedural unless you do it in OO style. Almost all big applications are written using
the object oriented approach.
OOP vs. Procedural Programming

Benefits of OOP
OOP is invented to make the developer's life easier. Using OOP you can split
your problems into smaller problems that are comparatively easy to comprehend.
The main goal of OOP is: everything you want to do, do it via objects. Objects are
basically small discrete pieces of code which, can incorporate data and behaviors
together. In an application all these objects are connected to each other, they share
data among them and solve problems.
OOP can be considered better from many aspects, especially when you consider
the development time and maintenance overhead.
